BMW R 1200 GS Adventure.

As of model year 2015, the R 1200 GS Adventure will also comprise new
features which make handling the ultimate long-distance travel enduro
even more dynamic and comfortable. For example, it can be fitted with
the BMW Motorrad Keyless Ride System as an ex-works option. This
enables both the steering lock and the fuel filler flap to be locked
and unlocked. The motorcycle is started using the starter button as
before. With Keyless Ride, the key can always remain in the rider's
clothing. The Shift Assistant Pro available as an option ex works
allows the rider to shift up without clutch, enabling acceleration
virtually without torque interrupt. It also allows downshifting
without using the clutch. As an option ex works, the R 1200 GS
Adventure can now also be fitted with a lowered suspension. In
conjunction with a reduction in seat height by 50 millimetres to
860/840 millimetres, the R 1200 GS Adventure is now also within reach
of customers for whom the previous seat height posed an insurmountable
obstacle. If a further reduction in seat height is required, the R
1200 GS Adventure can also be fitted with the seats of the R 1200 GS.
This reduces seat height by an additional 20 millimetres.

without using a key. The motorcycle is started using the starter
button as before. With Keyless Ride, the key can always remain in the
rider's clothing.

BMW K 1600 GT and GTL.

The BMW luxury touring bikes K 1600 GT and GTL will be supplied in
new paint finishes as of model year 2015. What is more, the two model
variants now benefit from Dynamic Traction Control (DTC) as standard
for increased safety when accelerating. In addition, the K 1600 GT/
GTL can also be fitted with the BMW Motorrad Keyless Ride System as an
ex-works option (already included in the fittings of the K 1600 GTL
Exclusive). This enables the steering lock, fuel tank can and storage
compartments to be locked and unlocked without using a key. The
motorcycle is started using the starter button as before. With Keyless
Ride, the key can always remain in the rider's clothing.

Other new special equipment features for the K 1600 GT/ GTL include
daytime riding light and Hill Start Control for easy hill starts. The
K 1600 GT and GTL are now also fitted with the instrument panel of the
K 1600 GTL Exclusive featuring new scales and particularly
high-end chrome surfaces.

An overview of the new features in the K 1600 GT/ GTL:

Sporty touring combined with long-distance qualities and comfort as
well as supreme riding dynamics and safety - these have been the
outstanding strengths of the BMW K 1300 S for years. With the
exclusive special model K 1300 S Motorsport, BMW Motorrad now
deliberately emphasises the dynamic character of this popular sports
touring bike.

Fitted as standard with ABS like all BMW motorcycles, the BMW K 1300
S Motorsport highlights its athletic flair with a new colour concept
in the BMW Motorsport colours Black storm metallic, Light white and
Lupine blue metallic, combined with red decorative stripes. The black
engine spoiler and the tinted windshield provide a fascinating contrast.

Reflecting its sporting aspirations, the K 1300 S is also fitted with
HP wheels for optimised handling, an Akrapovic rear silencer and HP
footrests for rider and passenger.

For increased comfort, the innovative electrically powered scooter
BMW C evolution can be fitted with a comfort seat (option) as of model
year 2015. This is also available as a special accessory for retrofitting.

For the first time, the BMW Motorrad Keyless Ride System now
optionally replaces the conventional ignition lock in the R 1200 GS /
GS Adventure, the R 1200 RT and the K 1600 GT / GTL. This means that
it is no longer necessary to use a regular key. Unlocking and locking
of the steering lock, ignition, fuel filler flap and storage
compartments (R 1200 RT and K 1600 GT / GTL) is carried out using a
transponder integrated in the key. The key can therefore remain in the
rider's clothes, for example.

As soon as the key is located within the vehicle reception area
(distance < 2 metres), the steering lock can be briefly unlocked
after successful authentication by briefly pressing the button. The
steering lock is locked by keeping the button pressed down and placing
the handlebars in end position. The ignition is activated by briefly
pressing the button or keeping the button pressed down after releasing
the steering lock. The ignition is switched off by means of a short or
long press of the button. To open the fuel tank, the lever of the fuel
filler flap is simply raised. The fuel filler flap can be opened when
the motorcycle has been electrically unlocked. The fuel tank is closed
by simply pressing the fuel filler flap shut. The alarm system (DWA)
is automatically activated when the ignition is switched off and the
steering lock is closed, as soon as the key leaves the reception area.
However, the alarm system can also be activated manually.

Shift Assistant Pro for gear shifts virtually without torque
interrupt as a new special equipment feature for the R 1200 GS / GS Adventure.

The Shift Assistant Pro enables the rider to shift up and down
without activating the clutch or throttle valve in the relevant load
and engine speed ranges, giving the rider additional comfort as well
as increased dynamic performance. Most shifts can be carried out using
the shift assistant; one exception here is setting off, for example.

When accelerating, the throttle valve no longer has to be closed for
shifts, so propulsion power is virtually constant without torque
interrupt. When decelerating and shifting down (throttle valve
closed), the engine speed is automatically adapted by means of
double-declutching. Gears are engaged as usual by means of the gear
pedal. Shift time is significantly reduced as compared to a gearshift
using the clutch. However, the Shift Assistant Pro is not an automatic
transmission, it simply provides gear shift support. When the Shift
Assistant Pro is used for gear shifts, the cruise control is
deactivated for safety reasons.
